Golden Hour Photography Guide
What Is Golden Hour?
The hour after sunrise and the hour before sunset, when sunlight is warm, soft and directional. Good for portraits and fashion.
What Is Blue Hour?
The stretch before sunrise and after sunset when the sky turns deep blue. Good for moody, editorial-style shots.
Why Does It Matter?
Light in these windows gives flattering skin tones, dramatic shadows and strong color that no studio light can fully copy.
